Local guide

St. George, UT short-term rental rules and official checklist

St. George uses a City Short Term Rental License workflow. This guide uses the current incorporated-city transient-room rate, requires address-specific portal review, treats the old approved-areas PDF as historical only, and does not invent a current STR fee or stay-length threshold.

  • 100+ U.S. cities
  • Official sources
  • Address used only for local rules

Compliance layers

A Clear Answer, Then a Path Forward.

Confirm zoning, current land use, jurisdiction, and the rules that actually govern the address.

Required Approvals

Get the permits, licenses, documents, inspections, and tax registrations needed before launch.

Recommended Path

Follow prioritized next steps, deadlines, renewal duties, and viable alternatives when rules change.

Assumptions used

  • St. George temporary lodging stay: The modeled stay is under 30 consecutive days and uses the incorporated St. George jurisdiction total transient-room rate of 13.32% from the Utah Q3 2026 table; the county row is not added separately.

What may change the final amount

  • Address outside the incorporated St. George row. The 13.32% amount applies to the incorporated St. George jurisdiction row 27-020. Addresses in Washington County outside the city or in a special district can use a different official rate-table row and are not silently mapped to this city total.
  • Utah lodging fee and collection treatment. Utah Publication 56 distinguishes taxable lodging charge categories and third-party reservation responsibility; mandatory fees and remittance duties require the official lodging guidance.
  • Local permission evidence is not a tax input. The official local program, zoning, licensing, inspection, permit, and enforcement sources are disclosed for the linked STR page; they do not create an additional calculator rate unless an official source establishes an exact tax rule.

Answer first

Start with the St. George address-eligibility check

Use the live City CitizenServe portal to confirm the property’s current eligibility before choosing the license workflow; the archived PDF is historical context only.

The active portal exposes separate Short Term Rental and Rental Dwelling license workflows; confirm the current stay-length classification in the application.

A portal listing or tax estimate is not by itself permission to host; confirm the address-specific status before advertising.
